Welcome to the beauty of the Ottawa National Forest's forested land and bountiful waterfalls that dot the approximate one million acres of land in the western end of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This area is known for its hearty and friendly people as well as its hardwood forest, fishing, deer, grouse and bear hunting, spectacular fall colors, canoeing and plentiful winter snows. The Ottawa has a remote solitude that is unique and unexpected for the Upper Midwest.
